Surface Deposition of the Enceladus Plume and the Zenith Angle of Emissions
Ben Southworth, Sascha Kempf, Joe Spitale
Since the discovery of an ice particle plume erupting from the south polar terrain on Saturn's moon Enceladus, the geophysical mechanisms driving its activity have been the focus o…
The Shape of Saturn's Huygens Ringlet Viewed by Cassini ISS
Joseph N. Spitale, Joseph M. Hahn
A new model for the shape of the prominent eccentric ringlet in the gap exterior to Saturn's B-ring is developed based on Cassini imaging observations taken over about 8 years. Unl…
An N-body Integrator for Gravitating Planetary Rings, and the Outer Edge of Saturn's B Ring
Joseph M. Hahn, Joseph N. Spitale
A new symplectic N-body integrator is introduced, one designed to calculate the global 360 degree evolution of a self-gravitating planetary ring that is in orbit about an oblate pl…
Physical characteristics and non-keplerian orbital motion of "propeller" moons embedded in Saturn's rings
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Joseph A. Burns, Miodrag Sremčević +8
We report the discovery of several large "propeller" moons in the outer part of Saturn's A ring, objects large enough to be followed over the 5-year duration of the Cassini mission…
Free Unstable Modes and Massive Bodies in Saturn's Outer B Ring
Joseph N. Spitale, Carolyn C. Porco
Voyager images and Cassini occultation data have previously shown that the behavior of the outer edge of Saturn's massive B ring is determined only in part by a static response to…
Dynamics of the Sharp Edges of Broad Planetary Rings
Joseph M. Hahn, Joseph N. Spitale, Carolyn C. Porco
(Abridged) The following describes a model of a broad planetary ring whose sharp edge is confined by a satellite's m^th Lindblad resonance (LR). This model uses a streamline formal…
